Equipment

mason jar or airtight container
Mixing bowl
spoon or whisk

Ingredients

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, 2%)
1/2 cup milk (dairy or high-protein milk)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp nut butter
1 scoop protein powder (optional)

Instructions

Add rolled oats and chia seeds to a mason jar or airtight container.
In a small bowl, whisk milk and protein powder together until smooth (if using protein powder).
Add Greek yogurt, nut butter, and milk mixture to the jar.
Stir thoroughly, then stir again after 2–3 minutes to ensure even hydration.
Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
Stir before serving and adjust texture with additional milk if needed. Add fresh fruit or toppings as desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Stir twice before refrigerating to prevent dry pockets. If using protein powder, whisk it into milk first to avoid clumps. If oats are too thick in the morning, add 1–3 tablespoons milk and stir. Store in airtight jars up to 5 days at 40°F or below. Add fresh fruit before serving for best texture.
